Ode (An Acknowledgement of Sea Country)

About

Ode is a cameraless animation made from handmade macroalgae celluloid. Developed with CSIRO and marine scientists, it uses contact printing, botanicollage, and seaweed bio-sonification to explore post-petrochemical cinema. Lasting 365 seconds, the film offers an ocean-responsive meditation on deep time, material intelligence, and more-than-human collaboration.
